The Prince and Princess of Wales embarked on a journey to France for the Rugby World Cup, but before the grand sporting event, they made an unexpected appearance on Mike Tyndall's podcast, “The Good, the Bad and the Rugby,” alongside Princess Anne.
The four royal figures, all avid sports enthusiasts, delighted listeners with tales of their own sporting escapades and shared why rugby and other physical activities hold a special place in their hearts.
The video, which was unveiled yesterday, delved into discussions about the Rugby World Cup and the mental health advantages of team sports, featuring the Prince and Princess of Wales and the esteemed Princess Royal.
It has already garnered an impressive 34,000 likes and received nearly 5,000 predominantly positive comments on YouTube.
Furthermore, the podcast swiftly amassed over 1 million views within a day.
However, the Heart of Invictus trailer starring Harry faced a different fate.
Despite amassing 3,000 likes, the trailer was bombarded with 6,500 mostly negative comments, leading to a significant discrepancy in engagement compared to the podcast.
Notably, the release date of Mike's podcast coincided with an incident where Prince Harry faced humiliation on German television.
During his appearance on ZDF's sports studio, Prince Harry, who recently launched the Invictus Games in Dusseldorf, encountered a unique challenge.
The Duke of Sussex engaged in a shooting challenge, a customary ritual for guests on the show, as host Katrin Müller-Hoyenstein introduced him.
Amid discussions about his military service in Afghanistan and the mission of the Invictus Games, Prince Harry participated in the challenge alongside Germany's defence minister and war veterans.
Despite taking six shots, Prince Harry failed to score a single goal, sparking speculation about his dedication to military training in the past.
The incident raised eyebrows as he seemingly missed the target entirely, failing to hit the designated soccer holes.
Shifting back to Mike Tindall's podcast, the recent interview with the royals debunked claims made by Meghan regarding the formal nature of the royal family behind closed doors.
Princess Anne, Prince William, and Katrin provided a candid interview as rugby patrons, showcasing the close bond shared within the royal family during private moments.
The podcast highlighted instances of camaraderie and shared interests among the royals, dispelling the notion of formality behind closed doors.
From competitive sports challenges to late-night cold-water swimming, the royals were portrayed as a tight-knit unit that relishes spending time together during family gatherings.
Princess Anne injected humor into the conversation, referencing past encounters with Meghan at Wimbledon and eliciting laughter from the audience.
In essence, the latest revelations from the royal family shed light on their personal dynamics and shared passions, offering a glimpse into their unguarded moments and dispelling misconceptions about their interactions behind closed doors.
